Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3001488A1] [Problem] To provide a method and apparatus for manufacturing a separator assembly for a fuel cell, with which it is possible to highly accurately align a separator and a spring member even without enlarging the separator for alignment purposes or enlarging the contour of the spring member to the same size as that of the separator. [Means for Solving the Problem] The present invention has: a preparation step for preparing a first separator (13), a second separator (14), and an elastic member (30); a first placement step for positioning the elastic member and placing the same on a placement surface; a second placement step for positioning the first separator in relation to the elastic member, and placing the first separator so as to overlap the elastic member; and a joining step for joining the elastic member and first separator which have been positioned and made to overlap. In the second placement step, the first separator is made to overlap the elastic member while first positioning members for positioning the elastic member are made to retract into the placement surface.
